There's a three-way battle for your Fantasy Premier League armband this week, with Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.7m), Mohamed Salah (12.6m) and Michail Antonio (£7.9m) all having the potential for huge hauls.

So which of them should managers choose?

"I'm set on Ronaldo," says Fantasy expert Gianni Buttice on the latest FPL Show. "Home advantage and good opposition, and he's been rested this week. 

"This is the Ronaldo we all know and love. This season he'll have more shots than anyone else but what I like is that the vast majority of his shots are coming from inside the box, from real goalscoring positions."

Fellow expert Ben Crabtree agrees. But the 2016/17 FPL champion hasn't ruled out bringing back Antonio following his suspension and immediately giving him the armband.

"Man Utd at home look like scoring more goals," he adds. "Every time [Bruno] Fernandes gets the ball he's looking for Ronaldo. I can see him scoring possibly even two. 

"But because of [Patrick] Bamford's injury I'm pretty set to move to Antonio. Against a Leeds defence with a lot of injuries, he'll definitely be my vice. I wouldn't rule out a last-minute change to captain!"
